Abstract:

This paper presents a method of configuring architectural space that articulates
the coupling of an organism with its environment; expressing the spatiality of
unfolding engagement in the world. The premise is that space is a consequence of
cohesion, effected through constraints and processes of enaction. An Artificial
Life model is presented as an analogue of a bottom-up approach to architectural
design that takes into account that we as organisms interact with our ever present
changing environment and redefine our spatial domain depending on our sensory
interaction with said environment.
